All the spoopiness in one stream!

Well I sure got a hodge-podge of spoopy in this one stream. 3 horror games total played this go around as the first 2 were rather short. But hey, a short horror game doesn't make it a bad one! A small experience can be just as fun!
The first game I end up playing, selected kindly by Mr. Wheel is LIDAR.EXE. Lidar's are real tools that use lasers to create 3D maps of the environment it records. And that indeed is what happens in this short game. I use the lidar tool to draw dots to help me see where I am going. I can also use a detail scan mode which will draw a clean line of dots from top to bottom until my entire immediate vision is filled. And I definitely use the detail scan mode a lot to help me. It fills in my vision a lot faster. Just got to be careful not to reveal any,,, strange figures like I did. Doing that seemingly... well I can't say for sure if I was put somewhere else. I can say my dots went from... the sort of tan like color to a solid white. I'm not entirely sure what this new area is supposed to be. It's some sort of mansion. As I explore it, I uncover secret things like a message reading "HELP" in red... well there's your horror aspect to this game. XD! I scan more and more of thea rea. Still having no idea what kind of place it is. Though I do scan a duck figure... maybe it's a goose? I don't know how that helps me but I scan it. I also scan an exit door that has a keypad near it. How exactly do I get the code? Well after having my vision blurred again, I eventually uncover a number next to a door reading 7128. That's my 4 digit number for the keypad. Through the other side of the doro is... uh... quite frankly I still have no clue where I am. I do eventually start to scan some green stuff and bare trees. Am I outside? I spend time going around, looking for anything that can help me. I uncover another figure silhouette. Got to cover that up. And then I come across a large tunnel of some sort with animal prints making a path. And of course, I follow the prints which leads me to a giant scan of... well I don't know what it is... it's like a flower inside a ring of eyes. The game then freezes on a more detailed version of the image and... that's it. That's the whole game... yeah I don't get it either. I guess like I said, it's meant to be more about the mechanic of the game I suppose. Which is pretty cool. There is a steam game about the same idea that looks to be made by the same dude. I'll have to check that out if and when I can! For now, let's move to the 2nd game!
Mr. Wheel spins again and lands on Last Train Home. An even shorter game. As the name suggests, you are indeed on a train. Very small passenger count. You got a guy sleeping with newspapers, a guy smoking, a young cheerful girl, a... very unwell looking girl, and an old timer who wants the newest papers. I can't go any further so I go back to the guy sleeping with the newspapers. I collect one from him and give it to the old timer who gives me a lighter in return to which I give to the smoking guy. He advises me not to smoke yet he's smoking himself. Wouldn't it make sense for him to listen to his own advice? Though he did say this would be his last cigarette. So maybe he is. Good for him! The smoking guy tells me about the sick woman and that something she needed that she dropped was taken by a young child. Of course it's not easy. I have to answer her question of which way the train is going. TO HELL IF I KNOW! My answer didn't matter anyway. Both options were wrong. I still got the pill bottle from her anyway to which I give to the sick woman. Once she feels better, she has an epiphany and knows something is wrong. She wants to help me and has me follow her and... holy fuck she is fast. By the time I start following her, she's already gone. Eventually the train no longer has inside light and I have to rely on the lighter to help me see. Then the train cars start getting more and more spider webs on them. Until eventually the last car I get on has a door that won't open. I can briefly see what's going on when light shines through the windows, it almost looks like that young girl is coming towards me and... uh... okay here's a twist. She turns into this giant spider and is about to bite my head off. Not before the older woman I helped meets up with me to return the favor and save me. Turns out the train I am on can't take me home and I need to spin 7 times. Why 7 times? I don't know. I just need to spin 7 times. The woman then... seemingly jumps off a moving train... hopefully she's okay. But anyways, I do the 7 spins and I seemingly awaken and get off the train. And that's where the game ends. I did it. I made it home. Another short story... and maybe I don't understand it. But it was short and sweet! And given I still have a lot of time left, I give the wheel yet another spin!
For the 3rd and final game of the stream, the wheel lands on Buddy Simulator 1984. Just as the name implies, you have a virtual buddy to play with! I create my buddy and name it... Dalamine... and if your name in real life is some how Dalamine... well then you get 34 and a half cookies! I give it my name and all of a sudden I am giving it my personal information. Like my favorite color. So much for privacy. Then I give it my birthday to which now you know it too. Then again I think any likelihood of being doxxed simply from knowing my birthday is very... very... very low. I tell it cats are my favorite animal. And if I had one, I'd name it Adaline. Dalamine then changes my text color to blue. My favorite color. How sweet! And now it's time to play some games with it. Starting with, Hangman! I actually get off to a hot start. Hell I only miss 1 letter before I realize the answer is "V IS MY FRIEND". How very nice. Next I play a number guessing game with it. Easy. Pick the random number between 1 and 10, 1 and 15, 1 and 10,000 oh fuck we're really going all out. Though it wasn't that bad since Dalamine told me the number was my birthday. Well it didn't really then need to be a number in that big of a range. FInally, it's time for some Roshambo! In a best of 5, it goes between us but I end up being the victor. Albeit I noticed that Dalamine changed their play at the last second in round 5... in favor of me? Oh come on this isn't about being nice. This is about drawing blood! Back to asking personal questions about me such as having real friends. I do but in this sake I'll make up a name... something like... Mayla. Anyways, I've now played all 3 games with Dalamine. But they want to play more with me. They do eventually find a new one called... uh... Monday, April 2nd... what a... great name for a game? And no I can't play one of the other 3. I HAVE to pick this one. Opening it... it's not a name. It's someone's fucking shopping list. Wow... how fun. After reluctantly giving Dalamine system access... yeah that won't go horribly wrong, I quit out of the game and go back into Anekom OS to find a new game. The adventure of V! A game? All about me? I'm honored! In this story, I'm out on my own walking along a road. No water other than my own sweat. In this text adventure, I can choose whether I go right or left. In this case, right... oh... I'm sorry... GO RIGHT. Moving forward, I pick up a shovel and put it in my inventory.
A large wall blocks my path and a door sits in the middle with skulls surrounding it. One with no teeth and one with no eyes. Giving just one of these skulls what they need will open the door. Well I do enjoy seeing so I guess I can live without teeth. Ahead of me lies a house, shed, playground, and pond. The shed is dark inside yet I choose to go in anyway. Feeling around, I suddenly get a jolt of pain as the numbers 414 are engraved in my arm. Perhaps this number will come useful later. I then check out the pond. Hey! Water! Finally! uh... but it's dirty and hard............ ahem... a small dock sits near the pond too. The playground is simple and cozy. Containing a seesaw, swings, and sandbox. The swings seem to have a sad looking doll sitting on one of them... who designs a doll to be sad? I can't take the doll. It's stuck to the chains of the swings. Using the shovel on the sandbox, I pick up a bulb and add it to my inventory. I then head up to the house where suddenly I feel comfort pour over me. Especially as I read the sign above the door that says "A home is a house with a heart". Very much agreed. I go back to the shed. Thinking perhaps I can use the bulb to light up the area. Alas, doesn't seem that is the case. I can't go through the house either. The door is locked. I mean yeah that makes sense. The shed does have a fishing pole I somehow find. I can take that to the pond and dig up a key. Someone only knows why I had to pull so hard to get a small little key. Anyways I take the key and unlock the house door. Hah just kidding. There was a 2nd lock. Why didn't I notice that before? I head back to the playground and take a seat on the swings. It seems to be all in good fun until I look at the sad doll and stop because suddenly the swings aren't fun. Oh come on the damn doll is making me feel something? Hell seems like the whole playground makes me feel emotional. Even the act of using the seesaw makes me sad. Looks like it brings back memories of younger me. But before I get too sad, I notice the shed suddenly becomes lit up so I quickly approach it where I see a chest and trapdoor. The chest containing a one eyed doll and the trap door leading me to a dim lit subterranean room. When I pull the chain to make it completely pitch black, a soft noise followed by the feeling of being grabbed intensifies. But crisis averted as the trap door opens again and whatever was there is now gone. Whew!
All that remains is a hand drawn picture of a cat. I place the one eyed doll next to the doll stuck on the chain of the swing set in the backyard. Nothing seems to happen. I then head to the sandbox and make a sandcastle in it. Once again using the sandbox makes me sad since the castle isn't as good looking as the castle. Well holy shit this playground is the most depressing area I've ever been too! I got to get out of here. But suddenly, just as I leave, I feel something hit the back of my head. Somehow one of the dolls was ripped open and behind me is another key. I don't know how it could be a thank you. Maybe it was a gift for giving the doll a swingmate to be with. Anyways I take the 2nd key and now I unlock the ho-HAH NOPE! There's also a chain, wrapping the door which also has a lock. Okay this is getting ridiculous. In fact I get so mad, I rage quit and end the stream in anger... okay to be fair it was the 1 hour mark of the stream. And we all know... once i hit 1 hour... the stream is over.
At the same time, that principle only applies whenever the game allows it to...
